Rolling Loud, the world’s biggest hip-hop festival, is making its way to the southern hemisphere for the first time next January.

Co-founders Zingler and Cherif said, “… we’re thrilled to make our Australian debut. Rap music is the most popular and fastest growing genre of music and the world deserves to experience curated line-ups of its biggest stars and hottest new talent.”

Just one of the many things the festival is known for is bringing surprise acts to the stage – like the time Future brought out Post Malone to play White Iverson“and he wan’t even booked for it.”
